I am somewhat lost with this one ... not really sure that it belongs to the Lamiinae.
From Zambia, male 11 mm, received with Agaleptus (Callichromatini). |

No, they are not in fact... they are probably Xystrocerini, close to Oemodana.
In the meantime, I move the topic. |

Found it: Oemodana quadrinotata Gahan.
A certain confusion remains about the classification of this genus: position: BioLib ranges it among Xystrocerini, Titan mentions Oemini. |

Very well!
Concerning these tribes... yes, in this paper I have merged both tribes, but some authors did not accept them...
However, though accepting this absurd division, Lingafelter was forced to key the species of both "tribes" together in this paper... even stating:
"Despite the nonconformity of some of these characters to their tribal definitions, most current workers have followed this classification and have maintained the tribes as separate entities"
Evidemment, noblesse oblige...  |
